To help everyone appreciate our outdoor lifestyle, we have designated areas where you can run your dog off its lead. So all users can enjoy dog off-leash areas safely, we ask that the following are observed. Dog/s:
The owner or responsible person for a dog that is on heat must ensure that the animal is not in a public place. Owners of declared dangerous or menacing dogs must comply with the mandatory conditions in relation to the keeping of the dog.
The requirements for the use of dog off-leash areas can be found in Subordinate Local Law No.2 (Animal Management) 2011.
